- This interdisciplinary project will explore and validate the potential use of functionalized gold nanoparticles to generate a photothermal response and neuronal activity triggered by light. We will explore new classes of plasmonic nanoparticles, designing and fabricating them and then testing them in mouse cortical neurons using acute slices of healthy and ischemic mice brains in combination of patch-camp recordings and two-photon microscopy.

We offer a one-year full-time position (extendable to 3 years) starting on March-April 2024.

Previous experience in animal handling and _in vivo_ electrophysiology is highly desirable, experience on two photon microscopy is preferred but not necessarily required.
